Hear that? It’s a collective sigh from all the UPA staff. AmeriCup is done. It was successful. It was crazy fun. And it was most definitely exhausting.
Nonetheless, we all had a fabulous weekend. There were so many amazingly talented teams to watch and cheer for and see all their hard work come to life. I couldn’t believe some of the insane stunting and choreography that I saw, and I was in complete awe of so many teams.
I also made a ton of new bff’s… I’m lookin at you Energizers Dance Team 
And you probably saw me all weekend with a monkey under my arm. That was Oopa, in case you didn’t meet him. He got to meet a lot of teams and had a great time as well. He also got outfitted in a UPA tshirt and crystallized- see pictures below.
All in all, AmeriCup was all I expected it to me and more. I learned a lot, saw some really neat things, met tons of cool people and had a great time. I’ve had 3 days to recover from it all, and I’m still recovering today- my sleep pattern is kinda thrown off from late nights/early morning and walking/running all day.
Definitely check out our YouTube channel for a few videos that I took, and our Facebook fan page for tons of pictures. Of course if you have any of those please send me the links, email [intern@upainc.net] to me or tag UPA on Facebook. We want to see the competition from your eyes too!
Thanks again to everyone for coming, competing, cheering, crying, laughing, screaming and having a wonderful time. Can’t wait to see you next year
